MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo's recent remarks about his historical top five players have sparked a lively debate. In a recent episode of his podcast "Gil's Arena," Antetokounmpo listed his top five as Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant. However, notably absent from his list was the legendary Michael Jordan. When asked about this omission, Antetokounmpo simply stated, "When Jordan won his last championship, I was only seven years old. So what do you expect me to say?"

Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas, who was also present during the podcast, chimed in with his thoughts. "My logic is the same as his," Arenas said. "When Antetokounmpo was seven, Jordan had already retired. So what memories does he have of Jordan? Just what people have described to him? He can't make a judgment based solely on that. He hasn't personally experienced or witnessed Jordan's greatness, so he can't truly evaluate him. What you can truly believe in is what you have seen with your own eyes. So technically, for anyone under the age of 45 who hasn't actually seen Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and all those guys play, it's ridiculous to include them in your top five of all time because your argument is not based on firsthand experience. You're just looking at stats and what others have said."

The debate rages on, with opinions varying on whether it's fair to dismiss historical players like Jordan simply because a younger generation hasn't witnessed their greatness firsthand. Regardless, Antetokounmpo and Arenas' discussion highlights the importance of personal experience and observation when evaluating players' legacies. After all, numbers and secondhand accounts can only tell part of the story.
